Emily Ross never expected to survive her deadly fall in the Costa Rican jungle, and she certainly never thought she'd wake up in a strangely futuristic dwelling, held captive by the most beautiful man she'd ever seen-a man who seems to be more than human... Zaron is on Earth to facilitate the Krinar invasion-and to forget the terrible tragedy that ripped apart his life. Yet when he finds the broken body of a human girl, everything changes. For the first time in years, he feels something more than rage and grief, and Emily is the reason for that. Letting her go would compromise his mission, but keeping her could destroy him all over again. NOTE: This is a full-length standalone romance that takes place approximately five years before The Krinar Chronicles trilogy (aka Mia & Korum's story). You do not have to have read that trilogy to enjoy this book.
At thirty-five, Marcus Carelli has it all: wealth, power, and the kind of looks that leave women breathless. A self-made billionaire, he heads one of the largest hedge funds on Wall Street and can take down major corporations with a single word. The only thing he's missing? A wife who'd be as big of an achievement as the billions in his bank account. Twenty-six-year-old bookstore clerk Emma Walsh has it on good authority that she's a cat lady. She doesn't necessarily agree with that assessment, but it's hard to argue with the facts. Raggedy clothes covered with cat hair? Check. Last professional haircut? Over a year ago. Oh, and three cats in a tiny Brooklyn studio? Yep, she's got those. And yes, fine, she hasn't had a date since... well, she can't recall. But that part is fixable. Isn't that what the dating sites are for? One high-end matchmaker, one dating app, and one mix-up change everything... Opposites may attract, but can this last?
Hedge-fund titan Marcus Carelli knows how to get what he wants, and he's never wanted anything as much as he does Emma. The cat-loving redhead may have walked out of his life, but he's not about to let her go. Bookstore clerk Emma Walsh has had her heart broken by the ruthless billionaire once, and she's not about to forget it. Marcus can chase her down all he likes, but winning her back is another story. All is fair in love and war, and the new battlefield is a guest room with a single bed. To the winner go the spoils... in this sizzling, heartwarming conclusion to the Wall Street Titan duet.
